About Hyosung

Founded in 1978 as a division of the massive Hyosung Group, Hyosung Motors & Machinery Inc. began producing motorcycle designs under license for the South Korean market in 1979. In 1986, Hyosung established its own research and development centre in Japan and, the following year, began mass production of its own designs.

Hyosung, however, positioned its product as simple and efficient bikes, designed primarily for commuting.

In 2003 Hyosung Motors & Machinery Inc. was spun off from the Hyosung Group, and remained its own corporate entity until it was recently absorbed into one of the biggest companies in South Korea – S&T Machinery. Accordingly, Hyosung Motors & Machinery Inc. has now been renamed as S&T Motors Co. Ltd, but the Hyosung brand name remains unchanged.

Hyosung USA currently offers two basic variations of its street-based motorcycles, the GT650 Comet and the GV650 Avira, each with a choice of two separate powerplants: a 650cc 90 degree v-twin and a 249cc 75 degree v-twin. Hyosung also offers a range of scooters, varying between 50cc to 250cc, and a 450cc sport all-terrain vehicle.
